Lamborghini Reventon

It was nice to see the Sport still had some mud-plugging ability.

I was given a free ride in the new TDV8 a few weeks before Land Rover released it, ok it wasn't in mud but on a course inside Earl's Court set up by Land Rover to demonstrate what the vehicles can do. All I can say is it's pretty scary considering it was as standard doing all this stuff. I'll see if I can dig out the video.

Lamborghini revealed their latest creation at the Frankfurt Motor Show. It costs $1.000.000 and there will only be 20 units produced. I think Batman is one of their clients. http://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/11/frankfurt-motor-show-the-lamborghini-reventon-revealed/[^]

wasn't that Centari's car in the "Last Starfighter?" the same one that broke down bringing Alex back? :suss: if it flies and jumps to other solar systems, I'll take one. If it only drives, I'll pass.

Yeah but we've had posts here of some cool new 4x4 and someone replies "Yeah, but it isn't a Bugatti Veyron!" and then I phone Chuck Norris. The most irrelevant car on the planet.

The Bugatti Veyron has ruined car discussions. It doesn't matter if you are comparing super-minis, 4x4s or super-cars. Someone, somewhere at some-point will say "Those all suck, the Bugatti Veyron is ultimate." I freaking posted about the Audi A5 and had my post destroyed by a "Bugatti Veyron" deus ex machina post. For god sakes people! *gets a brown paper bag*

You realize that the "Bagutti Veilon" is the ultimate bag, leaving all others behind!

:laugh: Bugatti Veyron, better than anything. Your mom, your girlfriend, your house, your boat, your brown paper bag from Gucci. Doesn't matter, the Veyron beats it.

I suppose not, but you can sink them (they're amphibious). BTW, just uploaded the Land Rover Experience (20.3MB)[^] video we took in London, compressed with DivX (haven't messed around too much with the settings to make it any smaller so apologise for the size).

Sorry, yeah, I trimmed it a bit, see below. The Bright Folk should get it.

I am curious what the odds start out at.... what would be the odds of starting a discussion about the Bugatti. How many threads have we got here and the statistical sampling of discussions starting with the Bugatti? It is important afix a mathematical number to all random acts in the universe you know. ;P This reminds me of an SBIR proposal that had me sputtering and laughing. Some people just don't realize how far we are from estimating human behavior. The proposal was for someone to bid on work that would provide AI agents that accurately (above the 85 percentile in all situations) predicted an enemy reaction to any event. hmmm.... It continued in length describing all the requirements and accuracy for predicting human behavior, but idea was they wanted something that always was right, and always accurately described when a person was going to do something, regardless of subject. My psychic intuition says that another member is joining CP right now, someone else is starting a new thread somewhere here, and somewhere in the universe someone, somewhere is comparing any car to the Bugatti. How am I doing so far? :laugh:

Hey - I started people off on the Bugatti a couple of weeks ago and people were dissing it.
Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

Yeah, you didn't read the whole thread did you? Don't blame you. But in it we make a joke about people who reply to Bugatti Veyron posts with Koenigsegg posts :)
